Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama
This is a pure slice of 80's zero budget T&A video horror cheese.
It kicks off with 80's synth pop workout music that no retro night would dare spin and eventually crawls along until a cheddar quality rubber monster puppet pops out of a bowling trophy where it has been imprisoned. I think this may be the only horror flick I've ever seen where the monster was an imp. That’s right an imp that was trapped in a bowling trophy which happened to be inside a mall. And what does this imp do once its set loose, kill sorority babes who have snuck into the mall along with some loser boys one of whom throws up so many times it made me nauseous.
Like a lot of flicks from this genre it could have worked as an A film with larger production values, a more than slightly punched up script, and better actors. No insult to the great Brinke Stevens and Linnea Quigley who give it their charismatic all in early career turns and there’s also a mildly entertaining bit appearance by Whit Hubley. Is it a great laugh out loud so bad its funny flick? Don't bet your Rubik's Cube on it but it is a worthwhile once in a great while trek into the Reganomics of horror drek if like me you can enjoy that occasional indulgence.
